“…In binding stability, the cohesive energy per atom was calculated, given by the following equation; 29,30
where E tot (BXN) is the total energy of the penta -BXN (X = C, Si, Ge and Sn); n i is the number of Ni, P, and S atoms in the unit cell; and E i represents the total energies of an isolated single B, X (X = C, Si, Ge or Sn), and N atoms. Our calculated cohesive energies of the penta -BXN (X = C, Si, Ge and Sn) are −7.69, −6.83, −6.24 and −5.84 eV per atom for penta -BCN, penta -BSiN, penta -BGeN and penta -BSnN, respectively.…”
